| | Entertaining but Inaccurate | Vince 10/23/2012 | | This series is rather decent, but those who seek something more of a factual documentary will be disappointed in the director's little effort to align the script with the chronology and facts of the bible. For instance, in the bible, nobody saw Samson kill the lion with his bare hands and he met Dalilah far later. But in this move, Samson kills the lion to save Dalilah from the Lion, and she, several Philistine soldiers and an fictional character who plays the role of Samson's friend and who is not ever mentioned in the bible in the story of Samson, all bare witness to him killing the Lion. Also, in the bible, Samson killed 1000 men with the jawbone of an ass after the Philistines burned his wife and his father-in-law while they tried to apprehend Samson for burning down their wheat fields, but in this movie, those incidents occur out of order and he slays less than 50 men during this scene. Also, in the bible, Samson burns the wheat fields of the Philistines by catching 300 foxes and tying burning pieces of wood to their tales and letting them run through the wheat fields after the Philistines execute and burn his wife and father-in-law to death, but in this movie, Samson's wife and father-in -law are stabbed and killed (not burned) because Samson burned down their wheat fields with a torch which is both inaccurate and out of sequence. In the bible, Samson burns down the wheat fields because his father-in-law gave Samson's wife to another man who happened to be Samson's friend, but in this movie Samson's wife was not ever given to another man. In the last scene, Dalilah is present when Samson causes the building to crumble by pushing down the pillars, but the bible give no account of her being there when this occurs. There are many other inaccuracies, but these are some of the major ones. All in all, the film is rather decent and the director does execute creativity and excitement. However, this is done at the expense of providing factual accounts that are in accord with biblical scripture. The film is rather entertaining. It just happens to be very inaccurate. However, if the the writer's desire was to be accurate, I'm sure he would have done so. |
